Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) Over the past two days we have had our PBL Leadership Team participating in T1 Universal Prevention Shoolwide Systems training. Our PBL Leadership Team consists of representatives across all of our stages, as well as, two parent reps from the P&C. This team has been supported by two regional coaches who have introduced us to the principles that underpin PBL as a school-wide integrated approach to wellbeing. Part of this training has included a focus on understanding evidence-based logic and universal schoolwide and non-classroom features. School Reports and Parent Teacher Interviews Our teachers are currently finalising grades and writing reports for our Semester One reporting period. Reports will be going home on Thursday of Week 9, with each family offered a parent teacher interview in the final week of term. Last year we received extremely positive feedback on our reporting process coupled with the opportunity to meet with your child's class teacher. Notes went home yesterday to advise the dates and times when each class will hold their interviews. NAIDOC Week We will be celebrating NAIDOC Week in Week 9 with a different theme for each day. Monday is Aboriginal art, Tuesday will be sharing stories along with the NAIDOC Week Public Speaking Competition, Wednesday will be our Indigenous Garden and Aboriginal plants, Thursday will be Aboriginal games and Friday we will culminate with our Bush Tucker BBQ. All families are invited to join us in our celebrations on Friday. More to come next week.

Western Cross Country Today we had 21 of our students run in the Western Cross Country in Geurie as part of the Cudgegong Zone Team. Keep an eye out on our Facebook page to see how they went. Sydney Opera House Jacaranda Concert I would like to wish the 15 students from Years 3-6 who make up our school’s Recorder Ensemble (and Mrs Lynn) all the very best of luck as they join almost 1000 other primary students from across NSW to perform on Sunday in the Concert Hall at the Sydney Opera House as part of the Festival of Instrumental Music. Mrs Lynn has been working with this group since the end of last year and they have all put in a lot of time to prepare for this event. Michelle Neaverson-Smith Principal

Softball On Wednesday the 6

th of June the boys’ softball team

went down to West End Fields to play against Mudgee Public School. The boys felt nervous and jittery but as the game progressed they eased into it and got the hang of the game. Will Buckley took a good catch and Wes Anderson got 4 people out. Reuben Cavanagh managed to dodge the first base fielder but unfortunately got out. Tom Rich took an excellent catch as catcher and Brock Roe pitched well. We managed to get three home but it wasn’t enough to beat Mudgee Public. Thank you for the MHS umpires and a special thank you to Mr Walker and Mrs Blamire for selecting and coaching the team, and another thank you to the parents who transported the players. Reuben Cavanagh & Benjamin Jeeves

Cudgegong Floods Forbes The inaugural season of school basketball continues to gain momentum with our girls team winning 28-6 in their recent match against Forbes Public School. In difficult, outdoor conditions both teams found it hard to find the net early on. Cudgegong took a slight, 8-6 lead into half time but were not rattled by the closeness of the scores. Our girls really started to assert their authority in the third quarter with a much-improved passing game helping to expose the cracks in the Forbes’ defence. A trickle of early baskets gave way to a flow of 10, unanswered points for the period. With confidence high, the flood-gates stayed open in the final quarter with an additional 10 points being added to wash away any chance of a fightback from a gallant opposition. We now play Gilgandra and the team is very excited about this next challenge. Congratulations on a great effort girls. Mrs Channon

Debating Last Tuesday 5th June, the CVPS Debating Team won their debated against Coolah Central School in the first round of the Kerri Parkes Western Debating Challenge. The topic for the debate was “E-readers should replace books” and our team were the affirmative side. The four students, Will Buckley, Kate Edwards, Tara Wilson and Seth May, presented strong arguments and rebuttals. Congratulations to these four students! They will now go onto compete against Wellington Public School. Thank you to former teacher and debating coach, Mrs Sharon Harding, who adjudicated the debate. Miss Tritton and Mrs O’Connell

Rugby League On Thursday 7

th June, 20 boys from Years 4, 5 and 6

travelled to Orange to participate in the next round of the PSSA rugby league knockout competition. The first game, which was round 3 of the competition, saw them came up against Wallerawang Public. It was a tough game with the boys coming away with a hard fought 18-16 victory. In their second game, which was round 4 of the knockout competition, the boys came up against Dubbo South Public. The boys played even better than the first game and came away with a 30-10 victory. The next game, which was the Western Region semi-final, saw the boys came up against a very skilful Wellington Public School. The boys played their best game of the day and were victorious to the tune of 26-10. That win placed us in the Western Region final in which we came up against a side full of size and skill from Mulyan Public School in Cowra. After scoring the first try of the match, the boys were full of confidence but after Mulyan scored 2 quick tries just before half time, the boys new they had to fight hard in the second half if they were to get the victory. Mulyan were able to score again just after half time and they never looked back. The final score was 22-6. To make the final was a fantastic effort from the boys having to play 4 games of football on the day. They all showed fantastic sportsmanship and should be very proud of their achievement. Well done, boys. Mr Young

The 2018 PRC is well under way at CVPC with students from K-6 participating. Students from K-2 are reading books in class and 3-6 students are reading on

their own, both in class and at home. The Challenge aims to encourage a love of reading for leisure and pleasure in students, and to enable them to experience quality literature. It is not a competition but a challenge to each student to read, to read more and to read more widely. Each year Mrs Donnelly issues the challenge of being the first class to read the most books. Last year we had over 250 students complete the challenge!!! The challenge can be entered online by visiting - https://online.det.nsw.edu.au/prc/home.html and your child entering their own student username and password to logon. If you have any trouble with this or do not have internet access at home, please don’t hesitate to contact us through the office. Happy Reading, Dana Russell and Sharon Rayner
